Significant Growth Foreseen by Pearl Pigment Market During 2023
Pearl
pigments are special kind of pigments belonging to the group of
phosphorescent and fluorescent pigments. Pearl pigments are also
known as pearlescent pigments. Pearl pigments have a transparent
appearance because of smooth and highly reflective planes. These
pigments have a pearly shine when coated with a layer of metallic
oxide, in presence of mica. Hence the name ‘pearl’ pigments.
Pearl pigments coating provide a vibrant visual impact and enhances
special effects. Generally titanium dioxide coating is used in
present of fine mica flake for the manufacturing of pearl pigment
coatings. Carbon black powder is added to enhance the shinning effect
of pearl pigments.

Pearl
pigments are bad conductor of heat and electricity; can withstand
temperature as high as 800 degree C. Pearlescent pigments has high
acid and alkali resistance capacity. These properties make them a
preferable choice for coating pigments; they are widely used for
automobile coating. The pearly gloss of the pearl pigments provides a
new color quality to the automobiles. They are extensively used in
the manufacture of luxurious cars and other sport vehicles. The
artificial luster of the pearl pigments also finds application in the
toy making industry. Pearl pigments are mixed with other
monochromatic coating mixtures to prepare pearl light coating. Pearl
light coating is used in the building and construction industry.
Pearl light coatings are also being used to manufacture
semi-transparent and transparent plastic materials. Printing industry
is also a key end user industry of pearlescent pigments. The
different colored and lustrous inks used for printing purposes use
pearl pigments. Pearl pigments are safe and non toxic for edible
purposes so they are widely used for food packaging.
Pearl
pigment was innovated in the later part of the twentieth century. In
the initial stages it was extracted from fish scales. However with
the development of technology, titanium dioxide and mica flakes
replaced fish scales in the manufacturing process of pearl pigments.
The largest consumer of pearl pigments is the paint and coating
industry. The paint and coating industry accounts for more than half
of the market share of pearl pigments by volume. The printing
industry is the next largest consumer of pearl pigments. Although
North America is the largest market for pearlescent pigments, Asia
Pacific is the fastest growing market for pearl pigments.

Increase
in the automobile manufacturing activities in countries such as
Japan, South Korean, China and India has fuelled up the demand for
pearl pigments in the Asia Pacific region. The demand for this
pigment decreased drastically in Europe due to the economic slowdown
in most of the European countries. However the economic condition is
improving in Europe so the demand for pearl pigments can be estimated
to rise. Germany and Italy are the largest pearl pigment markets in
Europe owing to their large automobile market. Pearl pigments are
more preferred over other pigments such as chromium and cadmium
containing pigments. Pigments containing heavy metals such as
chromium, cadmium, lead and mercury are highly toxic and hazardous.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency banned the use of heavy
metal containing pigments as they are harmful to human and the
environment. This elevated the demand for pearl pigments, as they are
non-toxic and eco-friendly. The popularity of green building in the
world has further increased the usage of pearl pigments for
manufacturing of paints and coatings for buildings. Some of the key
manufacturers of pearl pigments are Millennium Chemicals, Inc., BASF
SE, Heubach GmbH, L’Arca Srl and The Dow Chemical Company.
